Getting back in shape!!!

My training this year has been sporadic to say the least.I lost my last training partners in the fall and winter due to my injuries and their job changes.Now it’s time to get going again.I’m motivated and I’ve already started to get myself back into fighting shape.

Over the next 6 weeks I am working hard to:

Cut the belly/body fat (back down to 15% from 20.8%)

Get back into fighting shape:

Cardio fit test from 32 down to 28

Max Push-up from 29 to 40
